Summary: Based on a true story-a girl survives alone for over 18 yrs
Comment: Island of the Blue Dolphins is a remarkable story. This book was based on the true story of a young Indian girl. The girl, discovered in the early 1800's, was found on an island off the coast of California. She had lived on the island, all alone, for over
18 years. She was known only as The Lost Woman of San Nicolas. Her people, known as The Indians of Ghalas-at, had long since disappeared.
O'Dell's story features a young Indian girl, named Karana. Karana struggles to survive alone on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. She has to find her own food, build her own shelter, and protect herself from the wild dogs on the island.
This is a wonderful story of a young girl who discovers who she is and what she is made of when faced with insurmountable obstacles. O'Dell's story is captivating and beautifully written. This book is well deserving of the Newbery Award. It would make an excellent addition to any collection.
